They did. 6 to 4. They were down 0-4 until the top of 4th. And they just took over when they went to bat. My son got hits all 3 times at bat. On base twice and scored once. And pop fly out to right field. He did excellent. Had two big defense plays. He caught a infield fly ball. And the runner didnt tag up. Tried to steal, and tagged him out too. Proud father day for sure.

what kind of shops would sell double sided thermal tape?
i ordered strips with it on them but they came without and i never ordered any tape because of it.
My little town dont have much , ill be surprised if i can find some. quickest i can find online is 4-8 business days

Maybe a RadioShack or Fry's electronics getting screws is probably easier

Ok ill try source or one of those type stores tomorrow.
Man i dunno about screws, these cutter strips are very narrow. only 1/2" wide. diodes running down the center. Dont leave much room for screws.

Here's all my frame pieces and heatsinks along with the couple strips I opened .
No tape so no point opening the rest yet.
@Rocket Soul man I didn't realize just how big a 3x4 fixture was lol. I see what you guys were saying earlier in this thread now.
These things are gonna be huge lol

Check the underside of those strips. Mark may have applied the tape for you, I hope.

No, he was supposed to, I paid extra to have it done. Was pretty disappointed to see it wasn't done, and I hadn't ordered any tape.
He's sending me 2 rolls through dhl. Be here next week hopefully.
I'll build frames but can't wire anything until I get tape
Ya I was gonna order some, but earliest delivery date to me was middle
Of next week. Mark is sending me 2 rolls through dhl, I expect it will get here quicker. No luck around my town finding any.
Did I mention how annoyed I was/am that he never filled the order correctly? I paid extra for that option just so I wouldn't have to do it lol
Now I'm waiting for tape and have to do it myself.

I ordered 100 strips with applied thermal tape. I also had to apply mine after paying for it. Then he raised the price of the strips to a retarded price. No one was ordering shit. We give him big orders. Give him lots of free advertising. To thousands of people. Plus my IG. And now he raises the price. Just plain greed. After the next build for a 5x5 I will never use cutter strips again.
